Hi..
We used to use our MHs throughout the winter months but as they only tended to be 2-3 night getaways, and more often than not on 'sites with full facilities, we tended to keep the water system fully drained down, and just use a standalone water container.
(with a spray bottle for the loo flush, if it's fed from the main freshwater tank, as our last van was).
Slightly off topic: I used to use Floe's pressurized method to fully drain down(although not the kit, as I was able to easily access the feed from the onboard tank).

If storing it in a barn,take some steps to minimise problems with mice making it their winter retreat!

Extra to the above post, mice and rodents in general follow urine trails, as this is the case, if your van is parked up in a barn then spray the tyres with something like Jeyes Fluid, not forgetting the inner/hidden side of the tyres.

There is a great World to be found out there, but by the very day, to find where it is becomes more of a challenge!
